Give the City Room.

: No, more than dvs years ago that Sec
| ton OF the city Immediately beyond the
/ Savannah Hospital was considered 10 be
! out IN the country, and the few who had
built bones there were looked upon by
their friends as living ont Of town. The
] !ots commanded from 800 10 $500, and
the latter price was thought TO De very
high
There is not a LOT in that neighoor-
mood now that can be obtained for $1,000,
and Tor some Of them the prices asked
range from SO, 900 TO 81 600. The advance
in the price OF lots mas not been alone IN
that section OF the city. 1t is referred co
because some very handsome residences
have been built there recently. There are
other sections south OF CASTOR street
where the advance has been about as
marked.
There is no doubt that the policy pur-
sued by the City Council ten years ago
greatly aided in building up the southern
part OF the city, and that the large and
valuable improvements which nave been
made there have reduced the cost OF liv-
ing by decreasing rents, given the city
thousands OF permanent residents and
increased the taxable property Of the city
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What was that policy of the Councilp
1t was to open and grade the streets and
to encourage the building OF street rail-
roads. In other words, the Council
opened the way for the city TO grow.
Was not the policy wise one? II it
was why would it not answer now as
well as it did then. If the Coun-
Gil will open the streets in the
new addition south of Anderson street
the city will quickly cover the addition.
All that is wanted Is the opportunity.
Savannah is destined to be the great COM
mercial city of the South Atlantic coast,
and it is folly for the city authorities to
pursue policy calculated to hinder the
city's growth. Let it have room for
free exhibition of whatever vigor and vi
tally it has.
No petty schemlng should be permitted
to hinder the opening of additions or to
check the extension or building OF street
railways. let improvements of all kinds
be encouraged. 1t is for the Council Just
elected to determine to a great extent
what the progress Of Savannah shall be
in the next two years. 1t is to be hoped
that it will not be Influenced by the
cramped and prejudiced ideas of one or
two men.

Teaching MANY Readers.

Whatever is published in the MORNING
NEWS reaches an immense number Of
widely scattered readers. A few days
ago there was published In its columns
an interview pointing out the advantages
this city possesses for sulphuric acid
works. AID suggesting the adyIsability Of
capitalists putting money in such an en-
terprise. Yesterday there was received
from Davis, Franklin county, Mass, a
communication stating that the article
In the MORNING NEWS had been read
there, and that the writer, as agent OF
company, was ready to furnish ali
the bi-sulphide of iron that was necessary
for the manufacture OF any amount OF
sulphuric acid.
The Massachusetts man is ready to do
business, but, unfortunately, the founda-
ton of the acid factory is not yet laid. 1t
ought not to be very long, however, before
sufficient capital to build the works is
obtained. 1t is certain that the works
would pay a good return on the money
invested In them. In fact, it is doubtful
If there is anything in the way of manu-
featuring that would pay better.

A Danger and a Duty,

The remarkable exhibition OF industrial
spirit and manufacturing enterprise in
Alabama and Tennessee suggest a danger
and duty which ought to receive the
earnest consideration OF those who have
the welfare of the South at heart.
Alabama and Tennessee are dealing
with great figures. 1t Is no uncommon
thing to be told that this iron property in
Alabama, or that coal property in Ten
nessee, is valued at ten thousands or ten
millions of dollars. This, together with
the rush OF people TO these two States
bent upon speculation, is likely to cause
an exaggeration of values. Wherever a
similar exaggeration has occurred in
other sections of the country an injuri-
Gus collapse has invariably resulted. The
trouble with speculation is that when
ever it once takes firm hold upon people
it seems impossible to shake it off until.
in the expressive slang of the day, the
bottom drops out.
There is another view of the matter
1t is easy to mark up the price of lots in
Birmingham or Chattanooga, or to hold
iron and coal properties in the mountains
their actual value but to do 30
will sooner or later deter investors
from investing and delay development.
The result is easily seen. There will be
an end to boOms, and genuine in
dustrial and manufacturing progress
will receive a depressing check.
Nobody who wishes the South well would
like to sea such check. To prevent it,
wild cat schemes should be discouraged,
and investors should be fairly treated.
Lured by the promise Of rapidly acquir-
ing fortunes, by no means inconsldera-
BILE number of Georgians have gone to
Alabama and Tennessee and invested
their money. They, of course, have the
right to do as they please. but it is none the
less true that they, and all other Geor-
gians, owe duty TO the State OF their birth.
In no respect have Alabama and Ten
nessee the advantage over Georgia. Dur
ing the short time that the Geological
Bureau was in operation it was demon
strated that Georgia has a wonderful
wealth Of iron and coal, not to mention
other minerals. The mountains of North
Georgia hold within their rugged bCsoms
untold riches, while the fertile farm lands
of Middle Georgia and the almost in
eXhaustible forests Of South Geor-
gia contain riches fully as great.
} 1t Is the duty of Georgians to stay at home
and develop the resources of their State.
Patriotism means something more than
the mere defense of life and home. 1t
means the upbuilding of the land OF ones
nativity, and to this task Georgians
should not hesitate TO address themselves.
Why follow the will-o'-the- wisp promise
of fortunes in Alabama and Tennessee,
when fortunes may be had in Georgia for
the asking? The same amount of labor
expended upon the mountains aud
farm lands and forests Of Georgia that is
expended in Alabama and Tennessee will
bring fortunes just as readily here as
there. Moreover, these fortunes Will be
acquired without the necessity OF sunder-
ing home ties; and, while they enrich
their possessors, they will add to the
greatness of the State.

Materials for Another "Evangeiine


From the Pr0vidence Journal
A story of outrage upon and cruelty to
civilized Indian community on the part of the
Dominion of Canada has Just been made
known in w asningtOn through an application
for asylum in American territory About
thirty years ago the Rev. MIR. Durham, a
Methodist clergyman, went from London,
Fort Simpson, British Columbia. This post
is upon the Pacific. and upon the inlet which
divides Columbia from Alaska. The Indians
we're then cannibals. Under Mr.. Durham's
teachings the tribe gradually became civil
lied. Last year they numbered l,CO6 souls.
They live in well-built village, with schools
and churches. Nearly every adult Indian
owns home. They have wharves aud fish
ing stations and packing houses. Since these
latter we're established the tribe has received
100000 for canned salmon shipped to Liver
pool. The village was IN every respect
well ordered. thoroughly civilized and flour
lshing, but Indians, under Dominion law
cannot hold land. Some sharks happened to
become acquainted with the facilities for
trade offered at this place, and made entry
at a British Columbia land Office of the whole
tract. 1t was sold to them, add with it all
the homes, schools, stores and packing houses
The Indians protested. gunboal went up
from Victoria and brought down eight of the
chief men, and they were thrown into jail.
The case was appealed to sir John Macdou-
aid and he confirmed the sale. Application
has been made by Mr.. Durham. who is in
Washington, for permission to have the In
dians move over into Alaska. Senators Teller
and Plumb have advised that they move at
once without waiting for Official permission
as they are sure to be given q place to live.
Meantime some American tribes in Washing
ton Territory have invited the despoied com
munity 10 come down and live with them
until they can determine what to do.
